License Authorization Wizard is Not Launching

I installed SPSS 25 that is provided by my university. I tried many solutions that were written online. Non worked.It asks for permission to run law.exe, after I give permission nothing happens. The wizard doesn't appear at all. Same then I click on launcher from the start menu or try to run law.exe directly from the C driver. Also it doesn't matter if I run it as administrator or normally. Every time asks for permission and then nothing happens...

Also when I run SPSS it gives the 7001/18 error.

"There is no license for IBM SPSS Statistics. This could be due to a missing license file or no more network licenses available. For detailed information about this problem, run the 'showlic' utility found in the product installation directory. Specific symptom number: 18"

When I looked for a solution for this issue I found a couple solutions and none of them worked. However, in one solution it said make sure that in spssprod.inf file the DaemonHost= is pointing to the server mine says no-net but I have no idea how to select a server or if this is the cause of the error.

I don't know if these issues are the same thing or just related but can you help me to solve it?

Could you do the following?1) Open notepad2) Paste this content
FGS4NO77XBJR9IN2E9NQRFMIPMEOTLZLDU8DOJK7RAQXO6RCOWAYKOTVEJYY59GHLWZIPJDWRMEPIVRJLDNLDCED8PUATQKZAOL# "1200" version "250", expires Midnight of Jan 31, 2020, exclusive

4) Save the file as lservrc in the installation directory of SPSS 25: C:\Program Files\IBM\SPSS\Statistics\25. IMPORTANT. File cannot have extension. Don't save it with .txt extension5) Run statistics as administrator. Check if the license is available

Please try to uninstall the software and install it again. Running law.exe as admin should open the app so this might be caused by corrupted installation or other software interjecting here such as antivirus etc. Please ensure that nothing is blocking usage of SPSS.

Please provide me with your lock code by opening echoid.exe file in command prompt. It should be in directory of SPSS C:\Program Files\IBM\SPSS\Statistics\24

Please send me also an authorization code you tried to activate. Please send it ONLY in the private reply I have already started in your initial post.
